My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

This sign on a cute dress shop says, "Be a meaner ballerina!!" I'm not sure what this means.


Is this sign advertising sugar-free candy?


Oh yay! We found Polar Bear Gelato shop! We haven't been here in a long time, because we couldn't find it, although we knew it was very near the Hondori Shopping Street. This was our quest today & we had a map.


These workers are ready to take our order. It's a very small place with chairs in the hallway that leads to the kitchen where fresh gelato is being made everyday, and to the small potty beyond. There are several fresh flavors, but for me, it's only chocolate - the Japanese call it "choco."

Here, gelato is being made in this machine behind glass walls, where containers are filled & placed in a freezer.
